🍽️Food pairings

• Casual asado, burgers, pizza, weeknight roast chicken → Malbec. Soft tannins, juicy fruit, no fuss.
• Thick steak, rib-eye, slow-cooked lamb, short ribs, game → Cabernet Sauvignon. The structure matches the seriousness of the cut.
• Cheese board → both, but a young fruity Malbec is friendlier with soft cheeses; aged Cabernet flatters hard, aged cheeses better.
• Big special occasion / a bottle for the cellar → Cabernet, especially a top Cabernet–Malbec blend.
